Question

Eutrophication can lead to:

• C. Decrease in dissolved oxygen
• D. Decrease in water pollution \vspace{0.5cm}

Hint:

Monitor nutrient levels in water bodies to prevent eutrophication and maintain healthy aquatic ecosystems.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

Eutrophication, often due to excess nutrients in water bodies, leads to dense plant growth, especially algae, which when decaying consumes a large amount of oxygen. This process depletes the oxygen available in the water, negatively impacting aquatic life. \vspace{0.5cm}
